Be Not Sad

Be not sad. 
     Take comfort in that I am looking down on you.
     Just like when I was alive.

I find this extremely funny, Viv. I think however, if one spends a lifetime looking down on others he would be looking up at them after death:)

Thanks, Susan, it's not autobiographical, I'm not at all condescending :) Viv x
